Iceland Internship (Environmental Science)

Global Treks and Adventures is offering an Environmental Science internship in Rutland, VT, focused on field research in Reykjavik, Iceland. Interns will develop publications, including a hiking trails magazine and a guide website. The role involves pre-trip research, one week of action research in Iceland, and two months of follow-up work remotely. Ideal candidates should have a positive attitude and a desire to learn about different cultures.
This internship offers the opportunity to help conduct field research in Reykjavik Iceland with one of our research teams. This expedition will focus on developing two publications:
• Develop the first hiking trails magazine with short stories capturing the culture and environment of Iceland.
• A naturalist guide and cultural guide website/web-app to Reykjavik and south Iceland.

The ultimate goal of the publications is to provide travelers with insight into the culture and environment they will be traveling through. Information we will be capturing will include Icelandic culture, history, geography, geology, wildlife, natural resources, economy, health care, religion, tourism impacts and more.

Interns will complete pre-trip investigative research, conduct action research for 1 week in Iceland, and spend 2 months wrapping up their research from their home or university during the summer or fall semester.
